Former Pakistan quickie Shoaib Akhtar might have hanged his boots but he still misses the on-field action.

The 40-year-old on Friday posted a picture of his dream team on Twitter reminiscing his playing days with them.

Arthur will either reshape Pakistan cricket or leave within 8 months: Shoaib


The picture includes (from left, first row) right-hand batsman Ijaz Ahmed, right-arm fast-bowler Waqar Younus, left-arm quickie Wasim Akram, wicketkeeper Moin Khan, right-arm leggie Mushtaq Ahmed, left-hand opener Saeed Anwar, right-hand middle-order batsman Inzamaul Haq.

In the second row, from left, all-rounder Azhar Mahmood is accompanied by another all-rounder Abdur Razzaq, Shoaib himself, fast-bowler Muhammad Wasim, fast-bowler Muhammad Akram, batsman Ghulam Ali, off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, Muhammad Yousuf (then Yousuf Youhanna), and opener Wajahatullah Wasti.

Akhtar believes the team was “full of talent and character” and called it “1 of the best Pak team I ever played with”.



Virendar Sehwag this time did not come to comment on the memory shared by Akhtar but a fan account with the same name as the Indian opener did comment that this team was “still not good enough to win against India”.



However, a couple of Akhtar supporters did come to spoil the show for the Indian fan.

Meanwhile, some fans backed Shoaib’s opinion.

All | 7 years ago | Reply Still no where near the Australians, in talent and fitness. I remember Australians hammering this team on quite s few ocassion especially the series after WC1999. What an anticlimax that over hyped series turned out to be.
Khabeer | 7 years ago | Reply Mohammad Wasim was a middle order batsman. But yes a dream team
